Chapter 1306: Statue

On the island, the clouds of death filled everywhere, and after losing the protection of the legendary mage, the rest of the people could no longer make a substantial resistance, and in the blink of an eye, they were engulfed in the dark clouds.

Death was everywhere on the island under the onslaught of the Witch, and Rhodes walked forward under the shadow of death, leaving the slow-moving Kraken far behind.

Soon, Rhodes came to the very center of the island, where he stopped in front of a huge humanoid statue.

It was a statue of a human man, standing here, his deep gaze was looking into the distance, staring at the ocean without borders, on the robe of the human man, showing the pattern of the four magical elements, exuding an inexplicable momentum, which made people feel awe at a glance.

The lifelike statue, made of hard ice, is ice-blue throughout, and even after a long period of time, there is not a trace of melting, and the details are clearly visible, apparently carefully treated.

Based on a similar statue he had seen in Bracada, Rhodes recognized at a glance that the man on the statue was Gwen Magnus, the former god of mages, the immortal guardian of Bracada, and the most powerful spellcaster of all time.

After feeling similar habits to the mages in the Magic Guild from the legendary mage before, Rhodes was not surprised by the statue of the mage god that existed on the island.

The existence of the mage god deeply affects all spellcasters, especially those who lived through the golden age of Bracada. Even though countless years have passed, and the influence of the mage god has long since waned, there are still organizations similar to the magic guild that have always been determined to spread the glory of the mage god.

Just as Rhodes was about to move past the statue in front of him and continue towards the depths of the island, he suddenly stopped and stood in front of the statue. From the inside of this statue, Rhodes seemed to feel something.

Looking at the statue in front of him, there was something special in it, which deeply attracted Rod's attention.

Placing his hand on the statue and letting his consciousness penetrate it, Rhodes noticed that there was a huge spiritual force in the statue, and it was this spiritual force that ensured that the statue would never melt.

The spiritual power gathered in the statue did not have the clarity of the spiritual will of the orthodox mage, but it seemed extremely chaotic, and it was not provided by the same person at all.

The huge ice statue in front of him naturally could not generate this spiritual power by itself, and the spiritual power that existed in its body was constantly provided by other mages, and the function of this statue was only to gather this power and store it in it so that it would not overflow in the slightest.

What made Rhodes feel concerned was that in this mixed spiritual power, the dead legendary mage, the spiritual power she provided, also existed in it.

In Rhodes' impression, the mage was not in the habit of praying, and could not directly attach the pure spiritual power condensed through prayer to other things like the monks of Erathia.

However, the spiritual power that existed in the huge statue was clearly the same as the spiritual power condensed by those monks, which undoubtedly made Rhodes realize something.

Obviously, the creatures on the island have a special affection for the mage god represented by the statue, and will pray to the statue, so that the pure spiritual power can be condensed and attached to the statue.

According to Rod, prayer has the same effect as meditation, while also condensing pure spiritual power, and this method was originally developed by the monks of Erathia, although mages rarely chose this method.

The higher the spiritual attributes, the more spiritual power can be condensed in the process of prayer, and once the legendary mage chooses to pray, the spiritual power that can be condensed is far greater than that of the vast majority of monks.

Upon closer inspection, Rhodes noticed that there was an incomparably large amount of spiritual power inside the statue, and once it exploded from the inside, it was even enough to completely wipe out the creatures on the island, just like the devastating spells cast by the legendary peak mage.

To provide this level of spiritual power, I don't know how long it takes to accumulate, even at this time, it is also unimaginable, perhaps only the prayers of a large number of mages for nearly a hundred years can achieve this effect.

What made Rhodes feel a little relieved was that the mages on the island didn't seem to have mastered the means to use pure spiritual power to fight, even if the statue stored an incomparably powerful spiritual power, they didn't know how to use it.

The method of using spiritual power to fight is also only studied by the high priests of Erathia, and the orthodox mage, who symbolizes the purity of magic, will never study such a means of fighting.

In the hands of the High Priests, spiritual power will become an extremely terrifying existence, and their use of spiritual power is even more powerful than their ability to cast spells, and the orthodox mages who follow the path of the mage god will never study this.

In Rhodes's impression, the monks of Erathia need to use a large amount of spiritual power prepared in advance to baptize themselves spiritually, so as to complete the real transformation and make their spiritual power leap to the level of high priests in one fell swoop.

From this point of view, the promotion method for a monk to become a high-ranking priest is somewhat similar to the promotion method for a necromancer to become a lich, which requires the preparation of extremely precious things in advance, and then through the power of rituals, to achieve a real transformation of oneself.

Compared to the changes made by the Endless Night Ritual to necromancers, the promotion of monks using pure spiritual power is naturally much gentler, but it takes a long time to accumulate. The pure spiritual power required to become a priest is not a small amount.

Of course, the spiritual power required for an ordinary monk to become a priest was nothing compared to the spiritual power contained in the huge statue in front of him. The enormous spiritual power contained in this statue is enough to satisfy the promotion of hundreds of monks.

If it weren't for Rhodes' careful investigation, just from the appearance of the statue, he would not have been able to find the huge spiritual power contained inside, and he would only feel that the statue itself was particularly spiritual, and it could even shock people's hearts.

After discovering the existence of this statue, Rhodes realized that if he could use the spiritual power in the statue, it would undoubtedly improve himself.

It's a pity that at this time, Rhodes has not yet mastered the secret method of using spiritual power, and he can't use the incomparably huge spiritual power inside the statue, so he can only wait until later to find a way.
